มองเศรษฐกิจชีวภาพ ในประเทศไทย

Thailand is promoting a bioeconomy to escape the middle-income trap and reduce social inequality, focusing heavily on the industrial processing of sugarcane and cassava into high-value products and biofuels. While integrated into national strategies like Thailand 4.0 and the 20-year National Strategy, the transition faces significant hurdles, including land and water scarcity, low wages for sugarcane workers, and environmental pollution from field burning.

• Industrial-scale bioeconomy development, particularly in sugarcane and cassava, has progressed faster than local-level development due to better policy support, R&D, financing, and infrastructure.
• The bioeconomy faces critical environmental constraints, including limited land suitable for sugarcane (only 0.37 million hectares) and a heavy reliance on rainwater, with only 10% of sugarcane areas having irrigation systems.
• Social impacts include income inequality and food insecurity; for example, sugarcane workers have been found to earn less than the national minimum wage of 300 baht per day, and sugarcane-farming households show lower food security and nutrition levels compared to rice-farming households.
• Labor shortages and high costs lead farmers to burn sugarcane fields rather than harvesting fresh cane, resulting in air pollution, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion.
